UFA studio in Babelsberg

A film about the creation of the new, modern UFA studios in Babelsberg. Views of the old Babelsberg Studio followed by a scene from Die Suenden der Vaeter, which was filmed in the old studio. In the clip, piano music plays while a woman, looking upset, lights a lamp and pours herself a drink from a glass bottle. Views of the old studio are replaced on the screen by the new buildings. Construction activity on film sets. Actors, some of them dressed in costumes, walk among the studio buildings at lunchtime.
